The AnZl0mania is responsible for the crea-
ton OF G class OF traderlen in New York unique
and conspicuous. They are essentially high
priced and exclusive They have no time or
ciyility to waste upon practical economists, and
questions and demurs as to prices are met with
calculated impertinencS. They are almost al
ways English by birth and have learned their
trades in London. They have all the Servility
Of an English tradeSman combined with the
over swelling Independence of the naturaliZed
which gives them their peculiar and unparal-
leled character. Anywhere else than
in the set Of their customers
they regard themselves as their Gus
toners equals and the superiors of everybody
else. They will be met at Long Branch. sara

arrogance and a full purse can force it.
Only if they chance to meet one Of their Gus
toners will they show a prompt change of
'front.' and become obsequious lackeys with tape
measures. This is a character impossible to the
American tradesman, but it pays when well
done.
WHEN Mrs. Cleveland first went to Marion, on
the Massachusetts, shore, with the exception of
a very few, she refused to see anybody for two
or three days, the New York Herald says. But
fish chowder and Cape Cod breezes modified her
resolution so that she began to receive few of
her friends, and early this week the friends of
her friends friends came in for a share of her
attention. On Saturday party took an hour S
Pieasure cruise. The Presidents wife sat on
deck all Of the time, and though the sea was
choppy she was not seasick. Mrs. Cleveland
last Sunday attended the Episcopal church In
the afternoon and took ride in the evening
Her morning dress has always been light,
either white or white with small figures. In
cream-colored silk. AS for red or
blue hammock hats, russell shoes
and other summer paraphernalia, she has es
chewed them altogether: Black silk gloves
oxford ties, black stockings and a broad
brimmed hat have completed her outdoor rig.
Mrs. Cleveland has deferred her departure until
the end of the week. During the service she
reverently bowed her head in prayer time, and
so small was the room that her responses given
in a low, firm voice, could be distinctly heard
She appeared to take particular delight in the
singing, which was much improved by the ad.
dition OF her sweetly clear soprano. Two deaf
and dumb people, an old gentleman and his wife,
came in on the early train, and, by writing on a
pad Of paper, contrived to let it be known that
they wanted to be shown Mrs. Cleveland's
house. Her treatment of them was the soul of
gentleness.
EVERYBODY is wondering how Mrs. Langtry
has managed to get into the surf twice without
being seen. When does she battle? and where:
everyone asks. But the spot and the time have
been zealously guarded by the bathing masters
all along the line. Nevertheless, it is true that
the Lily has been in the water, and that, too, in
the most frequented part of the beach, right at
the foot of Chelsea avenue. She went in the
day after she reached here and again last Tues
day. She has been clever enough. however, TO
have her dip and be out again before most peo-
pie here have left their beds. Seven O'Clock in
the morning is her bathing hour. On Tuesday
Mr.. Gebhardt led the way to the beach for
party of five, including the Lily. but he re-
manned on the beach while they bathed Mrs.
Langtry is not afraid of the water. She can
take a header like a veteran, though
she doesn't swim a stroke One who
watched her from the shore tells me that
she jumped into the water and was under the
first breaker before her companions-two ladies
and a gentleman-were out of the bath houses.
The bathing master was her protector He tried
to get her to swim, but she gave it up after
splashing about in two or three vain attempts
that involved swallowing more or less of the
ocean. She wore remarkably simple suit. IL
was of white flannel, with three box pleats on
the waist with wide black braid covering each
plcat. The skirt was short, with row of wide
braid around the bottom over a hem of inches.
The stockings were black, and she wore the new
bathing shoes that look like sandals. Her hair
was protected by an ordinary rubber cap Mrs.
Langsry did not remain in the water longer than
twenty minutes on each occasion.
An. Asbury Park is the spot to see the daisy
bathers There are not more than thirty women
to each man there and even old baldheads get

saw a sight TO behold, but hardly to be described
A beautiful lily Of New Jersey came all the way
from Long Branch to battle, bringing her escort
and his chaperone with her in herzown carriage
When she emerged from her bath room she was
a picture Of beauty and grace and 90 ID clothes

shapely, and her limbs were encaSed in tights
